Some of the beneficial effects of these compounds on human health have been attributed to their antioxidant and other biological activities, such as enzyme inhibition. In this work, we evaluated the contents of total, soluble and insoluble phenolic compounds of 6 red and 10 non-pigmented genotypes...
The present review deals with phenolic compoundsin plants and reports on recent studies. Moreover, the present work includes informationon the relationships between the consumption of these compounds, via feeding, andrisk of disease occurrence, i.e. the effecton human health. Results obtained on ...
Tea, rich in phenolic compounds, has been widely reported for its beneficial health effects. This study explored the inhibitory abilities of four types of tea, that is, green tea (GT), oolong tea (OT), black tea (BT), and white tea (WT), on the in vitro enzymatic digestion of potato...
The quantification was performed based on the standard curve of gallic acid. The results were reported as milligrams of gallic acid equivalents (GAE) per gram of dried extracts. Measurement of total tannin content Tannins were extracted from the sample, and the remaining phenolic compounds measured ...
The effect of type and concentration of antioxidants on PV and TBARS inhibition during ensilaging of herring filleting co-products is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Both PV and TBARS increased significantly (p < 0.05) over time in silage without antioxidant added (i.e. control), and this ...
efforts to increase the contribution of sorghum for human consumption would be crucial, since this grain represents a sustainable culture (i.e. drought tolerant and low-input consuming), besides to present beneficial health effect, mainly attributed to phenolic compounds (Stefoska-Needham et al., ...
Digested samples were subjected to anti-proliferative evaluation against human liver cancer cells. Furthermore, antioxidant of digested apple peel was evaluated via the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) method. Results revealed that the phenolic compounds obitained from enzymatic digestion were different ...
Buckwheat honey is a dark variety of honey, and darker honeys tend to have a higher content of phenolic compounds. These compounds have been associated with the antioxidant properties of honey that may have contributed to its effect in this study.15,16,31 Further, its topical demulcent effect...
Phenolic compounds have long been known for their health benefits, in particular cardiovascular protection, and antioxidant activity. Their importance goes beyond the health benefits, since some phenolic compounds are linked to the organoleptic properties of plant-based foodstuffs, namely color, astringency...
Human parainfluenza viruses represent a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in children, with currently no available approved drug or vaccine. The viral surface glycoprotein haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) represents an ideal antiviral target. Herein, we describe the first structure-based st...
